Diagnostic: worse than I thought

6 June 2009 4 Comments

I have been silent about my son’s headaches but now it’s time to speak out. The strong headaches are gone but he has an almost constant headache that almost goes unnoticed unless we ask him if his head aches. He says it’s a kind of very weak headache that doesn’t leave his head.

He already has a follow up appointment in the hospital on June 19, so meanwhile, I decided to take him to the homeopathic doctor that treated his allergies and asthma when he was younger. The diagnostic was devastating.

He is sinusitis free so the headaches are not from sinusitis. Now, the homeopath said that it seems that there is something strange with his brain. The brain is not reacting to the exam he did. He said that something is very wrong with his brain.

The doctor told me to insist on MRI even if in the hospital they say that his neurological tests are normal. He said hos brain must be checked.

Guess what? I am in shock. This was something I thought possible but wanted it to be impossible. This is something I knew I could hear but I didn’t want to hear.

I know that there are a lot of possibilities, some good some bad. When I look at him and see him so grown-up, so happy, I think: There is nothing wrong with him.

He is sleeping in my bed tonight, he is here next to me and all I can do is cry and thing: why isn’t he OK??????

    Hi Connie, just to let you know that everything seems to be fine with my son. Headaches are gone so probably they were Tension Headaches. Thanks a lot for all your support.
